1974
Before receiving Lynch's call, Asr was busy with the work at hand.
It is very rare for a Nagali native to become the deputy general manager.
However, as local business recovers and the Nagaril market has gradually matured, Nagalier society has also begun to naturally stratify.
The first batch of old employees working for the federal people have basically entered the middle class.
The average hourly wage per person is approximately RMB 1.2 to RMB 1.5, which is the Federal Sol, not the New Federal Sol.
This wage is actually not much less than the minimum hourly wage law implemented by the federal government. If the working hours are long, it can even catch up with the income of federal workers.
Among this group of workers, there are some outstanding ones.
For example, high-level technical work, or simply becoming the company's management or senior partner like Aser.
These people, as well as the new federal government ruling class, became the superstructure of the new federal government in Nagaril.
Among this group of people, there are also some people who are local capitalists in Nagaril.
The arrival of the Federal People's Government and the United Development Corporation also allowed capitalism to sprout in this land, and the market gradually matured, allowing some smart Nagarilese to start doing business.
At first, they only used the resources at their hands to do local business, such as purchasing some federal specialties from some senior employees working for the federal people.
Then add a little money and sell it to other Nagali people who are not qualified but have the purchasing power.
This kind of business may seem troublesome, but it is actually very profitable because there are no costs.
Later, this part of the Nagaril people began to try more businesses. They also opened companies, established physical industries, and started foreign trade.
At present, local capitalists account for about 30% of Nagaril's main export commodities, tobacco, furs, crops and beef.
Capital is a very magical thing. It corrodes a society and a nation at a speed and degree beyond people’s imagination!
In just two years, there have been many big local capitalists in Nagaril.
They are found in all walks of life, some are small, but some are large.
It's not that Asr has never thought about starting a business, he just feels that now is not a good time.
The sudden ringing of the phone frightened him, and he trembled for a moment before answering the phone, "This is...the company, I'm Asir..."
He thought it was just an ordinary phone call, but when the voice on the other end of the receiver came over, he realized that this was definitely not an ordinary phone call.
He put down what he was doing and humbly looked at the phone, holding the receiver in both hands and nodding his head.
"Yes... ok, I understand... ok, I will definitely leave on time."
After talking for a while, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the phone, he thought about something in his mind.
Lynch had already arrived in Nagaril and asked him to go over and meet him. It sounded like it was more than just a meeting.
He was a little moved.
He has started his own business before and is also a famous "master". If Lynch is willing to give him a little more help, he can try to start his own business now.
At the same time, he probably also knew why Lynch came here.
Thinking of this, he finished the work at hand as quickly as possible, then called the general manager, explained the situation, and left the office.
Naturally, the company Aser worked for did not dare to stop someone like Lynch, who was a major shareholder of the United Development Company, and chose to let him go immediately.
The place where he works is not too far from Slem, and you can reach it by train the next morning.
Lynch asked Catherine to invite those people, and there was enough time in two days!
In the evening, Lynch and the professor also met, and the three of them had dinner together.
The professor's expression was very happy, not because Lynch had done anything to her, but because she was very satisfied with her current job.
In order for her to successfully assume the position of president of the state Senate, several senators in Congress lost their names.
Those in opposition did not dare to continue to express their strong dissatisfaction, let alone confront Lynch.
Privately they continued to talk about the folly of allowing women into the parliamentary system and expressed their displeasure with Lynch for doing so.
But on the surface, no one will stop me, and no one will even talk about it in semi-public occasions.
Who knows if there are some mean-spirited people out there who would reveal what they said to Lynch.
Many people have struggled all their lives to get into Congress, and they don't want to throw away everything they have now just because of one word or attitude.
The professor entered the parliamentary system with a strong stance, starting with the heavyweight position of President of the State Senate.
Now the state Senate is basically firmly in her hands.
In the first half of her life, the political experience she had studied, researched and mastered was now transformed into her political methods, and also allowed these people to see how powerful she was.
It is hard for ordinary people to imagine how happy it is, but for professors, this is the most enjoyable thing, much more enjoyable than exchanging body fluids!
They also talked about the fact that local capitalists were not very cooperative. The professor's view was very simple. They had to put collars on them.
Not just here, but all local capital and capitalists in Nagaril must wear collars!
"...With the stability of Nagaril society and the sudden increase in job opportunities, the market is now becoming more and more urban, and the power of capital has begun to spread rapidly and become stronger."
"We all know that capital is greedy and despicable. Once they expand to a certain level, they will begin to try to challenge the existing rules."
"This is a very scary phenomenon for us and the United Development Company!"
"We must prevent this from happening. We must set rules for them and put them in a cage made of rules!"
The professor's speech was very radical, and Lynch frowned slightly, "Is the situation so serious?"
The professor nodded, "Mr. Lynch, you may not know that, apart from work, I have been collecting materials on the power of local capital."
"From what I know so far, some capital forces that far exceed those of the ordinary middle and upper classes are growing rapidly."
"For example...this human resources company."
"It was born two years ago after the federation entered Nagaril. At that time, local labor was cheap and at the same time, it could obtain multiple benefits after exporting it."
“That’s when this company was born!”
"Its founders were members of the former ruling class. It started as a company similar to an agency, but soon after making enough money, it began to expand."
"So far, it is not only the main labor exporter among local companies, but also the largest and largest company in the local construction industry."
"We encountered some problems while carrying out our work, and we also have certain connections with this company."
"He hopes that we can increase labor prices in accordance with international business standards. Commercial development is no problem, but more is infrastructure construction."
"They set a number that exceeded our psychological expectations, and they also announced this number."
"Now the locals and the federal manpower companies are a little dissatisfied with the current prices we offer..."
What Lynch felt when he heard this was more detailed and intuitive than what Catherine said.
Ultimately, it's still a question of greed.
The local labor service company offers higher wages, and at the same time, this company has a certain influence locally and throughout Nagaril.
This means that the price it offers will become a consensus due to the greed of capital and the greed of workers!
In fact, not only local capitalists, but also some federal labor service companies are matching their quotations.
It may seem like a difference of just a few dozen points, but once this number rises, it is no longer a small number.
Even if it's only thirty minutes, ten hours a day, that's three dollars.
If you employ 10,000 people, you will spend an extra 30,000 yuan a day, and an extra 90,000 yuan a month!
If other benefits are also provided, this number will be even more impressive!
How can it be possible that only 10,000 people are needed when eight cities in the state are being built at the same time?
What if we enlarge this number to one million or two million people?
That means several million more expenses every day, tens of millions more every month, and one or two hundred million more a year!
It’s no wonder that many things become difficult to do!
The professor's words made Lynch realize that while Nagaril is developing rapidly, the power of local capital is also expanding rapidly, which is not a good phenomenon.
The purpose of Lynch's proposal to cultivate the Nagaril market is to turn it into a rice field so that it can be harvested by oneself rather than harvested by the locals!
This has seriously damaged the interests of the United Development Company and his own interests.
You have to find a way to put your own money back into your own pocket!
He believes that it is time to convene an emergency meeting of the Joint Development Company. The situation here is much more serious than the report he heard in the federation!
Of course, the first thing he has to do is finish the work at hand.
The meal lasted until late at night. After Lynch sent the professor home, he and Catherine took an early rest.
A little after nine o'clock the next morning, Asl called. He was outside the house where Lynch lived.
When I saw Asr again, he was much older than before.
After going through ups and downs, my whole temperament has also undergone great changes.
He has lost his vigor, and he is no longer like the one who had the fighting spirit all over his body when Lynch saw him for the first time!
